Getting a tax refund? Make it work for you

A big tax refund check can provide a financial boost that
some families don’t normally receive. If you plan ahead, you can
use your refund to solve problems and meet goals.

It can help when everyone in the family talks about what to use
your check for and agrees on it, but the goal could be whatever
provides the most
benefit to the family as a whole. This can be a moment to
teach young children that there are limits to what the family
can afford. Let them dream a little, but don’t be afraid to say
no. They appreciate limits, even if they don’t say so.

Look at this list of ideas, add your own and then make good use
of your refund!
